GROUPING OF FIGURES /FIGURE MATRIX

In Grouping of Figures, different figures are put together on the basis of a certain rule, pattern or property. Here in this section on the grouping of figures, we will solve many questions that are similar to the previous year questions and concepts. In these questions, a given set of figures will be featured. Some of these figures can be grouped together while as others can’t be. The task is to find out the rules and/or similarities between each individual set. Let us see some of the solved examples and the concepts below.

Grouping of FiguresIn this type of questions, you are given a set of usually 6, 7 or 9 etc. figures, which are numbered. The candidate is required to analyse these figures and classify them into groups consisting of figures having more or less the same properties.

The candidate is required to analyse these figures and classify them into groups consisting of figures having more or less than the same properties. The best answer is to be selected from a given set of fairly close alternatives.

Figure Matrix questions contain a grouping of diagrams or figures in the shape of a rectangular matrix. This arrangement of diagrams in the form of a matrix forms the Figure Matrix. Each diagram in the figure matrix is there as a result of some rule. You will have to figure out this rule and make necessary decisions using this knowledge.

n this type of questions, more than one set of figures is given in the form of a matrix, all of them following the same rule. The candidate is required to analyse the complete sets; find out the common rule and then on its basis, find the missing figure in the incomplete set.

The non-verbal reasoning relies heavily on checking the student’s ability to access shapes and symbols that are related through a rule. For example, in a number series, several numbers are related to each other through a rule. Similarly, in the figure matrix, each segment is connected through a rule. Let us solve some examples and see what we exactly mean by this.
